       | work. A lot of the demos had locks on them (???), which is weird
       | -- the demos help me understand the product, why would they be
       | locked? More confusing, a lot of the locked demos had been
       | unlocked by sponsors, so clicking on them worked! So why was the
       | lock still there?

       | Also the tag "more than syntax highlighting" is what threw me
       | off. I thought this would be an IDE extension or something that
       | extended syntax highlighting in some cool way. I thought you were
       | just using markdown as an example. Maybe "supercharged markdown
       | code blocks" might be a better tag line.

       | That's probably the biggest thing I see as a production-ready
       | blocker. The feature itself looks cool based on the few demos I
       | saw.

         | because they find it useful for them is weird enough.

       | You can see an early ancestor of this project on this post
       | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21536789 from two years ago
       | (which had great feedback!).
       | 
       | If you want to try it, beware that current docs are minimal. If
       | you have questions or feedback GitHub Discussions is the best
       | place to post them. Thanks!
